weekend recap

I went to my beloved Washington, DC, on Friday for the specific task of renewing my Capitol Hill press credential. Each year, the press has the entire month of April to visit the ID office, have their picture taken and receive an updated badge. It's quite a process to obtain the credential, so I wanted to be sure I didn't let mine expire. I watched for a deal on a last-minute flight each week this month, and never spotted one. So I booked a flight (using the miles I accrued from my Vegas trip!) and went down, on the very last possible day of the month! It occurred to me that many of you who browse my site might not have any idea what I look like. And while I don't have a recent portrait, I thought my press credential was quite fun, once scanned, with the effects from the hologram. So, for those of you who don't know me, this is me!

Once that was taken care of, I spent the rest of the weekend catching up with many friends, including a bride & groom of mine- Anne and Bill- who celebrated their two-year anniversary last week! Congrats (Love your new place! And that bbq was fabulous! Smooches, wags and chicken leg lickings to Molly!)!

I look forward to several more trips down later this summer to visit with more of you!
